Bellewstown Races (Second Day).—The King's Plate for Irish bred horses, was won' by Mr. Barry's Wait-a-while, beat ing three others; and the Bellewstown Plate of 30 sovs., added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each, was won by Mr. Barry's Fracture, beating two others. A law case of some interest to sportsmen was lately noticed, and the final result must be interesting :—Various gentlemen in West Lothian were charged with the Game Duty by the Surveyor of Taxes —they appealed and were relieved by the Commissioners, and a case was subsequently taken for the opi nion of the Judges. The parties, it appeared, had attended at the meeting of a coursing club, of which some were and some were not members, on occasions when the dogs of unlicensed and the dogs of licensed, but absent owners, were allowed to run. The game killed was at the disposal of the Club, and there were always qualified individuals present running their own dogs. Lord Cockburn in decidin g th e ca s e di sapprove d of the determination of the Commissioners, and found the par ties liable in the Game Duty. This state of the law, it is be lieved, is not generally known. A bet between Lord Henry Seymour and Major Frazer came off on Saturday morning. The Major was to ride, with post horses, from Paris to Brussels and back in thirty-six hours, but he did not perform the distance in that time, as he was greatly impeded on the road for want of horses. In going he was detained a considerable time at one post-house, and in coming back he and the courier were obliged to ride several stages in a cabriole. These were not the only difficulties he had to encounter, therefore, the Committee of the Jockey Club, after taking all these circumstances into consideration, has declared the engagement null and void, and decided that the Major is to repeat this no very easy task. In consequence all bets remain in statu quo. The Dean and Chapter of Canterbury have issued a circular letter to the several Chapters in England and Wales, proposing that a meeting of two or more members of each Chapter be holden in London, at an early time, for the purpose of taking into consideration the reports of the Church Commissioners, so far as relate to Deans and Chapters, and any Bill which may be presented to Parliament founded on such reports.—Kentish Gazette. WRAXHALL'S POSTHUMOUS MEMOIRS.---Of the numerous highly interesting subjects on which these Me moirs throw light, perhaps none will more strongly fix the attention of the reader than the singular details connected with the rise and progress of the mental alienation of George HI. in the years 1788 and 89, and of the consequent political in trigues respecting the Regency, in which Pitt, Fox, Burke, and Sheridan took such memorable parts. A record of this remarkable period, by one who knew more than could be at tained by the generality of observers constitutes what may be called the " True Romance of History." On Saturday last an attempt at murder was com mitted in Sunderland by a man named Mason, who has for a length of . time been insane, on Mrs. Mitchell, wife of a sea captain of that port. The sufferer resided in the same house with. Mason, and bad gone into his room and inquired how he was, when be instantly took up a knife and inflicted a severe wound in her throat, and, but for the interference of his own wife, it is probable he would have killed her on the spot. The knife was taken out of his hand with much difficulty. Mrs. Mitchell is still alive, but her recovery is doubtful. Mason is taken into custody.— Tyne Mercury. • Mrs. Trollope seems resolved that the laugh she excited against Brother Jonathan, in her " Domestic Manners of the Americans," shall not soon subside for want of fuel. In her new work, "Jonathan Jefferson Whitlaw," she has revelled again in exquisite specimens of Yankee-talk, more ridiculous, if possible, than those she first gave to Europe, inasmuch as they exhibit, in addition to the dialogue current in the more polished societies of the United States, the pecu liar graces of backwood phraseology. The "locators" on the banks of the Mississippi live and move in all their glory in the animated pages of Mrs. Trollope's new work. Cliuncit-RATEs.-011 Friday last, the Ist inst., was held the adjourned meeting of Newport, Monmouthshire, to consider the propriety of granting a rate. At the usual hour, the Vicar not having arrived, Joseph Crosbie, Esq., was called to the Chair, and the consideration of the question was further adjourned to that day twelvemonth. THE VIOLIN.—The numerous lovers of this very attractive instrument are shortly to have, it seems, a manual devoted expressly to their gratification—an amateur, named Dubourg, having now ready for publication a work which pur poses to exhibit, in a popular manner, a complete, but con densed view of the history and progress of the violin, with bio graphical and critical sketches (distributed under the several principal schools) of the great artists who have shone through its medium. A chapter in especial reference to amateurs,- a Memoir of Paganini, and a variety of anecdotes, are among the contents of the work. EAGLE FIGIIT.—A singular occurrence took place a few days ago in the neighbourhood of N. Cunningham. A pair of eagles, supposed to be of the male kind, met and encountered in the air, closing together so fiercely that both came to the ground, where they were continuing the conflict, when a young man named Montgomery, in whose field they fell, and who was attracted to the spot by the noise, accom panied by some other persons, came upon them, and succeeded in capturing one of them, which appeared injured. The other, on their apprbach, put himself in a posture of defence, and being by far the larger, so intimidated his assailants, that they feared to advance upon him until he was able to fly away. The other was given to Air. Patterson, of Mason Lodge, who secured it, as he thought, by a chain ; the royal bird, however, was not twenty-four hours a prisoner, for on reco vering its strength, it succeeded in breaking its fetters, and It measur e d a b out six feet four inches b eff et e n c . t e i e n n g i t t h s e es t c ip ap s e. of the wings, and was of a light grey colour.--Derry Sentinel.

The Hon. Baronet at the same time presented a petition from a Clergyman in the diocese of Bristol, against the alienation of the property of the Irish Church for.other than Church purposes. Mr. T. ATTWOOD presented a great number of pe titions from places in the county of Suffolk, praying for a repeal of the new Poor Law Act. There could be no doubt, the Hon. Member said, that the condition of the labouring classes had been much improved within the last two years, but then that improvement was in nowise attri butable to the operation of the new poor laws. The fact was, that the new poor laws had done no good whatever, except in grinding down the wages of the labouring classes, and in violating the natural rights of families, by first sepa rating them, and then locking them in a sort of bastille. The Hon. Member also presented several petitions from places in Cambridgeshire, with a similar prayer. The Marquis of CHANDOS presented three petitions ; one from a place in Bucks, against the new Poor Law Act ; 'another from certain inhabitants of the same county, against allowing foreign corn to be taken out of bond to be ground for exportation ; and the third from Chorley, in favour of a Ten Hours Labour Factory Bill. Mr. HODGES broUght up the Report of a Committ on a private Bill ; after which An HON. MEMBER was understood to move that the House should be counted. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and there being only thirty-three Members present, the Speaker adjourned the House, at Half-past Four o'Clock, until to-morrow. QUARANTINE REGULATIONS AT MOUTH OF THE DANUBE. OFFICIAL NOTICE. (From the Odessa Gazette of May 25. ) The islands formed at the different mouths of the Da nube have not hitherto, owing to their deserted state, of fered any resources to vessels navigating that river- The entrance of the branch of Soulina was not even clearly in dicated, and vessels, in case of shipwreck, never received the necessary assistance. Besides this, all the Russian and other vessels coming from the ports of the Black Sea, or the Sea of Azov, and proceeding to Ismail or Reni, be ing obliged to pass by the branch of Soulina, the shores of which are in a suspected state as regards health, were sub mitted with their crews, passengers, and merchandise, to all the inconvenience of a state of quarantine. In order to avoid all these obstacles, and to preserve from pestilence the islands of the Danube, which carry on a constant in tercourse with Bessarabia, there has been established, in virtue of the treaty of Adrianople, a quarantine in two sta tions at the mouth of the Soulina, the one at the island of Lete, as the practical quarantine station, and the other at the island of St. George, for vessels en contumace. The left bank of the Soulina in all its extent, is destined for the treatment of vessels ell pratique, and the right shore for the treatment of vessels en contumace. To each of these two stations are attached the necessary functionaries, from whom a knowledge of foreign languages is considered indis pensable. Captains of vessels may on every occasion have recourse to these functionaries, who will provide them with all pos sible relief and assistance ; and in case of any unforeseen difficulties, or cause of complaint arising, means have been taken for the speedy attainment of justice to all parties. As soon as the appurtenances of the lazarettos have been constructed on the island of Lete, the captains and pas sengers of merchant weasels shall be received there, if they desire it to pass the term of quarantine, and from thence they may proceed by the shortest and most direct road to Ismail without exposing themselves to the delays caused by the long sinuosities of the. Danube, and the rapidity of the current of that river. The guard vessels (brandvaklile) stationed in the pass of the Soulina shall, in case of necessity, render every assist ance to the vessels which navigate the river, and if they aro in danger shall furnish them with all the succours of which they may stand in need. It is permitted to every man pursuing the occupation of a pilot to found at the mouth, and in the passage of the Soulina, establishments for the temporary reception of ves sels, where they may be furnished with sails, ropes, and other articles. The Government will afford to these pilots every encouragement and assistance. The quarantine regulations severely enforced everywhere, being in operation through the whole extent of the Soulina, with rules of course varied according to the locality, and rendered as little embarrassing as possible, masters of mer chant vessels are invited to observe them with punctuality. They will thus avoid all difficulty, and will not undergo any delay in her voyage. RULES. 1. Every vessel passing by the mouth of the Souline shall stay at the station of the guard vessel of the quaran tine establishment to be interrogated. 2. Suspected vessels, being allowed to communicate with the guard vessel, shall hand to the proper officer of the latter their bills of health, in order that there may be inscribed thereon the name of the vessel and the captain, and the sanitary state of the crew and passengers. After this sole formality, which will be fulfilled without any delay or cost, the bill of health will be returned to the vessel, which may then continue her voyage without further impediment. 3. Vessels infected shall also stop at the mouth of the Soulina, but without communicatint , with the guard vessel, and shall remit their bills of heath to the sanitary station en pratique, where they will immediately receive a sanitary guard, who shall always be ready to embark and accompany the vessels to Ismail or Reni. The functions of this guard will be confined to the prevention of all communication of the infected vessel with any ship, men, or merchandise. 4. Suspected vessels in ascending or descending the branch of the Soulina may, in order to be towed, or from any other cause, have recourse to the right bank, which has for this purpose been freed from all quarantine inspec tion. When a'suspected vessel shall have proved the ne cessity, either from the difficulty of towage, or the force of the current, or the wind, or from any other obstacle, of having recourse to the left bank either to be toWed or to anchor there, it will be necessary to take care not to hold any communication with the sanitary officers, or other per sons' in practiquc, not to bring anything ashore, nor to per mit those engaged in towing the vessel to go into the inte rior of the country upon any pretext, but to take care that they continue their course, accompanied by the °ricers \ from one post to another. 5. A suspected vessel, which is in danger from storm or any other peril, may have recourse indifferently, to which ever bank may be most conducive to its own safety. The captain of any vessel In danger shall receive from the sani tary officers all the assistance they can render, that may be may be necessary .to save the vessel. Those who are in pratique, and who,. from motives of humanity, may be dis posed to put themselves in communication with vessels it, quarantine, arc not forbidden to do so, but they shall be afterwards conducted to .the nearest lazaretto, where they shall perform the regular quarantine. Should the captain \ of any vessel conceive that he has any just cause of com plaint for anything that may have occurred, either during his anchorage at Soulina, or during his navigation of the river, he is not only at liberty, but is earnestly solicited to forward the particulars (availing himself of a special courier if necessary) addressed to the Governor-general of New Russia and Bessarabia, Odessa, by, whom every inquiry shall be instituted. CHEAP EDITION OF MR. HOOK'O SAYINGS AND Domes."—We understand that the new volume of " Col burn's Modern Novelists," now ready - for publication, contains the whole three volumes of the original edition of the Fii'st Series of Mr. Hook's " Sayings and Doings," with engrav ings, complete for Six Shillings! The characters in this work (which are drawn with a masterly hand) it will be re collected, were" all identified at the first period or publication as the portraits of particular persons; and this is confirmed by the following extract from the author's preface I Lave for many years watched the world, and have set down all that I have seen ; and, out of this collection of materials, I have thrown together a few historic illustrations of quaint sayings, the truth and xagacity, of which, the characters introduced by me have unconsciously exemplified in their lives and conduct; and which I have the small merit of bringing to bear, after long observation, upon the axioms affixed to each tale. In short, I have thought it, a curious matter of dpeculation to compare the doings' of the moderns, with the 'sayings' of the ancients." Great !umbels of Irish labourers are passing through Liverpool every day at present, to assist in getting in the hay harvest in different parts of the kingdom. Many hundreds passed through on Sunday. They arc likely to find employ ment less abundant than it usually is at this time of the year, as the hay crop in general is very light. IURSDAY, JULY 7, 1836. IVi 0 4 CONI4ELL AND HIS TITHES.

T Dli FA' OEM. • Yesterday tridftliti6 di about seven o'clock, during the thUnder storm, as James Laftkidti; a lad about sixteen years of age, residing at No. 6, Ireland-PA Rt. Andrew's-hill, was proceeding through Farringdon-market, 1w was struck by a flash of lightning, which knocked him down in a ptate of insensibility, and his face and head were severely injures. Sevaral persons near the spot proceeded to his assistance, and immediately carried him to St. Bartholomew's Hos pital, where he was put to bed and every assistance was afforded him, but he is now lying in a deplorable condi tion. The electric Auld as it passed by was strongly felt by every person in the neighbourhood, and a peculiar sen sation was created. Lloyd, the ward beadle, at the time of the accident, was standing in conversation With Mr. Jolly, a market gardener, who described that they wit- nessed the approach of the lightning, and it had the appear ance of a firebrand, which proceeded with the swiftness of a meteor in a northerly direction. At about the same time a boy was passing along Bridge street, Blackfriars, when he was also struck by lightning and felled to the ground in a state of insensibility. He was carried away for medical assistance, but we were unable to ascertain who or what he was. At about half-past seven o'clock yesterday morning an elderly man was passing through Noble -street,, Falcon square, when he was struck by lightning, and fell forward on the ground. Some passengers proceeded to his asA sistance, and on lifting him up they observed that he was bleeding from a severe wound on his face, and was consi derably scorched, and appeared to be lifeless. He was conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital on a shutter, and on his arrival he was found to be quite dead. He was not known. Several pamphlets and other articles were in his Rpssession, and it is conjectured that he was hawking them about for sale. A coroner's inquest will be held upon his body. Yesterday evening, on inquiry at the hospital, we ascer tained that the lad Larman had remained in a state of insensibility during the whole of the day, unable to speak, and that several other accidents had been admitted. During the storm the most extraordinary appearances presented themselves. At the above hour Henry Rakewell, a car man, in the employ of Messrs. Spencer and Capel, coal merchants, of Bridewell, had to deliver coals at the above hospital, and he was, with his waggon, &c., in the open yard belonging to the establishment, when his attention was attracted by a flash of lightning. He perceived a body of fire in the firmament, which burst, and exhibited the ap pearance of a sky rocket, which descended with great velo city towards the earth. Several persons who were passing by the spot were also attracted, and they felt a peculiar 'sensation of heat, and were greatly surprised and alarmed. Shortly after this extraordinary phenomenon took place, the old man, the deceased, was brought into the hospital, and he (Rakewell) was called upon to assist. Similar appearances were witnessed in the neighbourhood of Black friars-bridge, Shoe-lane, Farringdon-street, Holborn, &c., and it is supposed that considerable mischief has taken place in the metropolis and the country in consequence of the storm. A few young boys at Lenzburg, in Switzerland, at the end of last month, who had been taking birds' nests, contrary to the injunctions of the authorities, suspected one of their companions of having betrayed them, or of being likely to do so, and therefore debated among themselves on the most effectual method of stopping his mouth. They found nothing better spited to their purpose than to strip him of his clothes, to tie his hands, and to throw him into the Aar, which they accordingly did, at half a league from Lenzburg. His body has not yet been found. Four of his companions, from eight to fifteen years of age, have been taken up and put into confinement.—Galignani's Messenger. TIIE HAY SEASON.—Three or four more fine days will suffice to stack all the hay which is now out in this neighbourhood. The crop has generally been heavy, and in no season has the hay been got up in better condi tion. The trifolium incarnatum (crimson trefoil) is stated to have generally failed, or only partially succeeded. In this neighbourhood, however, wherever it has been well culti ‘ated, it has admirably succeeded, and stood the winter as well as the other fodder crops. In one instance within our knowledge, where it was sowed after harvest amongst the rising clover, by a Hollingbourne farmer, it produced excel lent and plentiful fodder for horses, or indeed any other stock. —Maidstone Gazette. _ At Vienna, on the 23d of June, it appears that the cholera was raging with •great violence, although the people had grown so used to the visitation that they ceased to dread it as formerly.

Scarcely, however, was the patient immersed, when he be came delirious; and, being kept in the bath by force, was at tacked with violent spasms, which, in a quarter of an hour put an end to his life with the most horrible agonies. —French Paper. • SOMNAMBULISM.—On Sunday morning last, be tween the hours of one and two o'clock, a respectable female, of the name of Morricc, residing in Long-acre, opposite to Buw-street, was observed by a policeman walking in her sleep along the parapets in front of the house adjoining her own. She had arrived at Mr. Stenning's, the confectioner, where she opened a window, entered a room on the first floor, and laid herself down by the side of a little boy, who was enjoying the pleasures of a few hours' repose on the sofa, when Mr. Stenning, who had 'been made acquainted with the circum stances.of her entry, went quietly into the room, wrapped her up carefully in a blanket, and, soon succeeded, with the assist ance of the policeman, in carrying her back to her own domi cile, which she had so. unconsciously quitted. During the whole time of this business the young woman did wit once sboW the least signs of awakening.—Morning Paper. DONNA MARIA'S FROLICS.—LISBON, JUNE 13.—An old woman, who has been lately employed at the Palace making new window-curtains, relates many amusing' anecdotes of the Queen and her young spouse. Her Ma jesty, it seems, is as full of frolic and as 'wild as a kitten. She never takes more than one meal a day ; but that one meal lasts all day long—for the lump, not slice, of bread and but ter is never out of her hand. In her hours of relaxation she and the Prince often indulge in a game of romps, which ge nerally ends in a melee of all the ladies present. Lest I shonld forget it, let me tell you at once she is posi tively not enceinte. Some days ago she hunted old Don Lorene° de Lima from room to room with a pair of scissors in her hand ; and her object, namely, to cut off a piece of his coat-tail, having been frustrated by the clever re .reat he ultimately succeeded in effecting, she indulged her sportive humour by chopping off large pieces from , the fashionably capacious sleeves of her Maids of Honour. The Prince is just as frolicsome, and is for that very reason, be sides his good-looking phiz, a great favourite at the Palace. The dramatis persona of the little coterie who surround the Royal pair is small but choice. Don Lorene° de Lima, un cle to the Marquis de Polite de Lima, the very beau ideal of Bob Loyic, with spectacles, umbrella, &e. The only.aCliieve ment of any note ever accomplished by him is one of which certain London tailors can furnish you with the particulars. Don Thomas De Mello, a man of Herculean frame, and almost gi gantic dimensions—it was he who really killed the lancer whom Lord Beresford has the crddit of having slain at the battle of Albuera—though a nobleman of the highest descent and rank, lie was then serving as a private dragoon. The fact is that he never intended to enter the army as a profession, hav ing been brought up as a leonine de robe, and only joined the army at the commencement of the Peninsular war, because he felt , that his country had a right to claim the aid of his ,• brawny arm for its defence. Thinking himself rather too old to be a subaltern, he entered at once as a private. The Duchess de Ficallio, a very amiable woman by all accounts, and lastly, the fascinating Donna Maria das Dores, the Mar quise de St. Iria—a young lady whose charnis are said to have enthralled the heart of a juvenile diplomatist of Hibernian des cent, and who claims kindred with the i m mortal gods, being the nephew of no less a personage than Cupid himself. The i • rest are all figurantes not worthy of any particular commemore tion.—Correspondence of a Contemporary. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The difaeldifrdry iitcrease on all the principal . branches of the reVeilue rifirOrds the most unequivocal proof of the material well-being O( nation. The Conservatives may amuse themselves with e'r4ploying itinerants to perambulate the, country, with a vieiv to emits religious discord and sntariaii animosity, .but they will find it no easy task to disturb a population so stictessitilly occupied in the pursuits of peaceful in ' dittstry . ,• Anitious as they may be for place, they will hataty be so mad as to attempt to play over again the farce 19411, by any unseasonable interruption of the national pidsperity. We think the people may therz , forc rest satisfied, that if Ministers have been unable to carry all the measures of im provement which they proposed, this i. the ex tent of the mischief which the Tories can inflict for the present. Our French Contemporaries are not inattentive spectators of the proceedings of the British Parliament; and their opinions, though not always founded on a correct understanding of the English eharaeter, and the peculiarities of our social condi tion, are nett Undeserving of attention. The Constitu tionncl is unable to discover in the late proceedings of the House of Lords any symptoms of the boasted prudence of the English aristocracy. " It must be owned," says that journal, " that the aris tocracy play a bold game with their inflexibility of opposi tion. When the social state of a country is so wretchedly organized, the class for whose profit this state of things is 6ft.ablished is very ill-advised to irritate the spirit of reform by an exaggerated • resistance. The politic prudence of the English aristocracy has long been the subject of boast, but there is certainly little evidence of it on this occasion. The arNtocracy are much mistaken if they suppose they , kan derive aoy benefit froM their blind obstinacy." '1 lie holds a different language. 4, The 1 3At.ii, "returns . so much altered by the Lords, that there is.h4l2lv to be discovered in it any part then, are the , Whigs about, as it originally stood. What, who so often repeated no concessie'n They repeat, over and over again, that their intentions t.." e pure, that they for the House ve roject, are animated by the most profound respect of Lords, and they prove this by offering a n‘ p s softened down, very modest, humble even to an ex treme. this new project it waled with more conteNt. than die first, at?t) at a single sittiag a formidable mzeioriiy sends it disdainfully balk to its authom Of what avai: is the agitation with which IVIr. O'Connell thteatens his ad versaries? Are they not aware of what he means by agita tion ? Meetings, newspaper attacks, public processions, in which his fine voice and powerful eloquence will be heard? But for a practical people like the English this is not enough —.action is necessary ; and against whom ? Against the Tories? The power is awanting. In this occurrence the Baited party might have taken a decisive attitude if it had been organised. But whether from inexperience or modesty, there hag net yet appeared a man disposed to lead it. However, itcountj from 140 to 100 votes in the House. .It has men who, like Mr. Grote, possess a con siderable fortune, a pure character, talents which appear to advantage in discussion, and other well-founded titles to respect ; it has scientific men, like Mr. Warburton; young men full of ardour, zeal, and intelligence, as, for instance, Messrs. Roebuck, Molesworth, Buller, Leader. However, they are restrained by indolence and a fatal distrust, and relying, perhaps, too much on the solidity of their prin ciples, they allow the opportunity to pass : they trust to events, and abandon to the impulse of chance a democracy which everywhere seeks a centre and a direction." The Constitutionnel cannot discover in what manner the Lords can derive any advantage from their opposi tion. The National does not attempt to show in what manner the Lords can profit by placing themselves in opposition to the people, but is surprised that the op portunity for securing a victory to the democracy is al lowed to escape. The people of England are not suf ficiently miserable to find revolution a desirable specu lation. The saying of the soldier who had become rich, " Let them take castles who are »ot worth a groat," naturally recommends itself to a nation reaping the fruits of successful industry, and every day gaining fresh conquests im the fields of commercial enterprise. The man must be made of stern stuff who would at tempt to disturb this state of things by agitation, and draw on himself the responsibility of Paralysing indus try, and subjecting the many families now enjoying com petence and comfort to poverty and privations. Even the - ToriM selfish as they arc, would hardly have the heart to put to hazard the present happy state of things by mad attempts to seize on power on defiance of the will of tha nation. It is, no doubt, perfectly true that the people have. not reaped all' the fruits they anticipated from the Reform Bill. It is equally true that the Oligarchy, beaten in 1832, have saice entrenched themselves in the House of Lords, and afforded a demonstration that the Constitution was only half removed at that time. But the obstinacy of Lords merely retards the progress of reform. The most extravagant Oligarch among them can hardly dream of the possibility of their recovering their lost power over the Commons. The power of the House of Commons rests on a secure basis, and lit every struggle with the Lords something must be gained for the people. It is to be kept in mind that the people, though dissatisfied with the Lords, arc not yet so generally persuaded that a House of Com- MODS returned by the people cannot act in concert with an irresponsible House of Lords, as to justify any appeal to them for the specific object of a re form of the Peers. The nation had long been prepared for a reform of the House of Commons ; but a reform of the Peers, however indispensable, is at Variance with all the recognized theories of the Constitution ; and the people of England renounce with difficulty any notion with which they have been im bued. It is this peculiar unsusceptibility of new im pressions which has preserved to this day abuses of the law an glaring that all foreigners wonder how they can possibly ha borne. But the misconduct of the Peers •is precisely the aid of which the Reformers are in Silint, to prepare the nation for the further reforms that arc neceatiary. Had the Peers acted with more pru dence and Moderation, the people might have remained long blind to the defects of the constitution, and all idea of organic change would have been hopeless. But the lessons of the Peers have sunk deep into the minds of the people. They are the great instructors. - On the first seasonable excitement of the nation it will be seen whether or not the people have benefited by their instructions. The materials for another moral revolution arc beg prepared. Any other description of revolution is not to. :the taste of the people of Eng land.—Morning Chronicle. Mr. Daniel O'Connell's speec i ii on Monday last, not in reply to Lord Stanley, but h spitC. f ul reproach of it, was worthy of ancient Pistol. It was , ndeed but a paraphrase of " all Hell shall stir for tins",” Fruitful of mischief as are the practices and the ordi nary resources of the Learned Repealer, we wait with some curiosityJci discover what new modes of disturb once he is now to put in action. When the police, newly modified, with Colonel Shaw Kennedy, come into play, we doubt whether agitation will, at its mas ter's bidding, assume the character of actual insurrec tion, or whether tithe resistance will, in the'face of the Exchequer, amount to an open defiance of the law. We know that the Learned Beggarman did threaten Lord Stanley with the future inefficacy of all legal process for the recovery of tithe, declaring that not another farthing should be paid to the clergy ;" but allowance must be made for the time of year, and for the approach of the month of November, when it consists with the financial policy of the sturdy Beggar than that no disbursements should take place from any Popish pocket, save only for the benefit of " the rent. There are likewise other threats of the ex-Member for Dublin, for the fulfilment of which we are willing to suspend our impatience. The House of Lords have shared with the clergy, and, with all Englishmen and Englishivomen,•his revengeful curses and denuncia tions. There is little need for us to state any opinion w i t h re gard to his plan for syringing that illustrious w ith a strea m o f nast i ness d rawn f roth hi s a o s w sli li e l l 'o bl iil . imagination, in the shape of a motion, which he had some time ago fixed for last Thursday evening. By taking-tile motion and the man together, we are assisted in our judginent upon both. The motion for turning the House of Peers into an elective body is such that u none. b an arrant blockhead would have conceived it. would be somewhat curious to inquire by what sort of machinery this grievance-monger pro poses to effect the metamorphosis of the Peers into a " second chop House of Commons. He moves a resolution, or a (loin of them—what next ? They are r:jected by a majority, consisting of Conservatives and Whigs. there is an cud of him, " within doors," at least, for the present. But suppose he should carry his resolution—what next ? A petition is voted to -*lt his Majesty, praying ( him to consent that Peers sl-pa, b henceforth elected by a 5/. or 10/. rabble. HiSMajt !St, says "No." Even the bland church despoiler, Lan I.T Russell, has pledged himself to resist O'Connell's mot; me and, therefore, not merely to vote against it hi mself, 'to advise his Majesty to reject the prayee of a petiiits tl founded on it. What next ? A message to tilts Hawse of Lords, reresting that their Lordships v iii be pleti§esi to abstain henceforth from the dise!iarge trf any legislatitos er judicial : functions, save only such of them as shall hats been elected by the above-men tioned Si. rabble, or any other rabble made into con stituency for that especial purnose, but without the sanction of an Act of Parliament, and solely by virtue of a House of Commons' vote ! The Lords, if the . ; condescend to answer, will be apt to do so, like lraa Majesty, by the monosyllable " No. They wits be apt to go on as they have done hereteore, in the regular and lawful discharge of their senatOlial duties. Will the Commons deny their right ? Will the Com mons, existing under the monarchical constitu,lion, re sist the exercise of that right by the Peers as created or summoned for 800 years by virtue of the h'oyal prerogative? We apprehend not. Then the King refu3es —the Peers refuse—three hundred Conservatives in the House of Commons refuse to annihilate the House of Lords, as a legislative body, deriving its existence from the Crown, and its functions from the law of Par liarbent- and the unwritten as well as written law of England. What next ? The revolutionary section of the House of Commons, gaining, by some accident, a temporary majority in that body, proceed to vote their own resolutions into laws. But who will obey such laws ? The people of England ? There is not a town even of the newly manufactured Corporations which would not order such treasonable and rebel lious documents to be burnt by the common :eangman. There is not a borough, however contemptible, that would not send to the treadmill any servant or com missioner of the usurping faction who should dare to promulgate their decrees, as laws of the realm. Let our friends of the Radical side of the House be assured, that in its last and worst days the Long Par liament was not more detested, nor the Barebones Parliament more despised, than would be any division or proportion, however large, of the existing or any other House of Commons, for an attempt to deprive the laws :Yid liberties of England of the guardianship exerciser o v e r : Iteni both by the hereditary peera , o I . thc em pire.

We recommend all capable obser\'ers to watch the words of the manoeuvring leader o! the House of Commons on this occasion, and his sub Se quent proceedings connected with it. We shall be at tentive to the phrases, full of puling dissatisfaction with the House of Lords, with which the Whig leader attempts to mollify O'Connell's rage at the Ministerial . opposition to his attack upon their Lordships, and shall keep a shrewd watch upon that abuse of patronage by • which the Home Secretary's journeyman , Lord ' Mul arave will be afterwards directed to bribe the Agitator into a forgiveness of the insult. Let the matter end as' it may, the Ministerial clique, with its inexorable mas ter, have plenty of work cut out for them.—Times. When we made such remarks, on Tuesday last, upon General Evans's order of the day, as that atroci ous production called for, we spoke with doubt as to the genuineness of the document of which our Corres pondent had sent us that copy translated from the Spanish, which was published in the Morning Herald of the preceding day. The notice which Sir Robert Peel took of this subject in the House of Commons on the evening of the day when our remarks appeared, has had the effect of clearing away the doubt, and we think it may now be taken, upon the admission of Lord Palmerston, that the order of the day of which we published the copy is authentic. We herd; hoped, for the honour of the English character, that it was an impudent 'fabrication of some Spanish impostor, who wished to make it be believed that the cold-blooeled cruelties and murders of Christino and Carlist war!are were sanctioned by British example. Sir R. Peel, noticing the document, expressed, as we did, a doubt of its being authentic ; but s what did Lord Palmerston say ? "He had seen the document alluded to ; 'and if the Right Hon. Baronet questioned him as a Minister of the Crown, he had no information to give respecting it ; for as such he could not possess any ; but if he was asked, as an individual, whether that order had been is sued, he was bound to say he believed such order had been issued." This, then, removes the doubt, and fixes disgrace where it ought to be. We cannot avoid parti cepating in the belief expressed by Lord Palmer ston, it e at a British subject, acting the pare of a mer cenary 5 ,,,,b1ier in Spain, has dared to publish a decree of death again St tidier British subjects who may choose : to enlist in the ~,anks of the party to whom he is op posed. It requires all the audacity of modern libe ralism to issue such . an edict. It :will require still greater intrepidity to p:lt it into execution. It is true Lord Palmerston the' tight proper to add that " no order emanating from' a General in foreign service could be looked upon a: an interpretation of the laws of Great Britain." Real)); if General Evans as an i n tcpretation of the meant his order of the day laws of Great Britain, be must be a most learnedpundit , ;—his knowledge of those laws must have been acquired from some recondite source. of .know ledge not easily accessible to mere lassyers: He has shewn his knowledge of the science of war' to so much purpose since he went to Spain, that we do not wonder at his endeavouring to obtain distinction its a new line. Should he only carry into effect his °wilt law of high treason, he is likely in time to become an exalted professor, whose fame as an executioner will long outlive the memory of his martial achievements. When we published exclusively on a former occasion that Carlist decree which announced death against fo reiau mercenaries taken with arms in their hands, Lord Melbourne was questioned in the House of Peers as to whether the document was a g e n uine one; he ex pressed his belief that it was a forgery, and appeared to feel great horror at the notion of putting prisoners to death, although they were foreigners, who hired their selves out at so much a day to shoot and bayonet p ,eele with whose quarrels they had no sort of concern - whatm e, We condemned that decree, although we could not but adwit that Don Carlos only imitated the ex ample of cruelty which was taught him ;:y his enemies. Dal Lord Palmerston, when he disavowed his pac,;i cipation, as a Minister, in the guilt and responsibility of Evans's act, express any horror at the barbarity of the order.? If he did, no report of it has reached the public. Leta,,:place before the public eyes once mor e the important p a rt oi that order---here it is : The Commander-in-Oil:et' deems it expedient to re mind the troops, that Ili the leg,ioo is ns'w acting in concert with the English Royal Marines, all British subjects who shall he found with arms in hand, aiding er assisting the insurgents, will be considered as rebels to his Majes y t the King of England, and liable to the penal t y of dezth, which tliey shall undergo, agreeably to the English laws , in the event of their being. made pri'soners." . • When our Foreign Secretary told the Linuse of Coo -1 mons that no proclamation of a General in foreign ser vice could be considered as an interpretation of British law, did lie condscend to tell his auditory what the lam really -is? Being a Minister, if ignorant of the law him• self, he could command the opinion of the law officers., I of the Crown. Now, without Consulting such high an thorities, we have no hesitation in repeating, what we aisseited in the first instance, that if General Evaus should have the folly anal wickedness to act upon hia own proclamation, and put a single British subject to death, under the circumstances to which that pocla !nation refers, be will render himself liable to be in. dieted for murder on his return to this country ; and should the charge be brought home to him in evidenee, nothinu hut the passing of Mr. A • Will gion )s I can o btain ` for him the necessary time for reflection and re pentance.
